Mr. Super Chong


Could this be a fengshui name?

From a poster for a ballroom dancing performance. This couple was the special guest performance. Must be a super-duper dancer... this Chong guy.

Three Character Classic

Well... not exactly the Three Character Classic but definitely three words at a time.

Overheard at the cashier of a clothing store:

Cashier: Want join member?
Customer: Member got what?
Cashier: Member got point.
Customer: Point do what?
Cashier: Point exchange things
Customer: I dun want
Cashier: Forty-one dollars please
Customer (digging into purse after giving cashier a $50 note): Give you coin...
Cashier: Ten your change

Customer walks off...

Gulp! I'm next.

Misheard or Misunderstood?



Overheard in the office...

"Ya! But once I do already, you cannot find my S-O!"

Hint: You have to read the above quote out loud.

Translation:

"Once I make the entry, you would not be able to find the same sales order (S-O)"

Overheard at the food court...

Colleague: "Are you coming with us for lunch?"
Me: "Now? I can't! I'm burning!"
(obviously referring to the CD-R I'm writing in that CR-R drive)

Question:
Me: "Have you finished burning?"
(obviously referring to that CD-R colleague is writing in that CR-R drive)
